Even with the summer sun having been relentless, this place was still so cool. Kaira shook out her fluffy pup coat as she looked around, her eyes wide with a mix of growing curiosity and slight bewilderment. Every place she had been to so far had been so different! So unique! See this is why she just needed to see everything, if everything was so special she couldn't just let these places escape her. She NEEDED to go there! Kaira's little head bobbed as she looked around, walking over to a bundle of purple herbs and taking a deep sniff. Which resulted in her promptly sneezing so hard she fell on her butt with an oomph. Shaking her head and raising her eyebrows at the herbs in front of her like it was their fault she took such a deep breath. "Talk"

Sagittarius was there watching and waiting. Her eyes never leaving the stranger although it was another pup. Someone for Sagittarius to get to know hopefully. Crouching low to the ground, she crawled closer well as best as she could. Stalking the other pup in a manner. The soon to be yearling was excited and couldn't hold it in much longer. Launching her body into a full run wouldn't be the wise thing to do so instead the girl picked herself up and pranced out. The moor was always her favorite of all places that the Raiders held within their kingdom. A kingdom full of wonders and harmony but also a mixture of chaos. Giving forth a bark like yip her twin peaks shifted upon her cranium. "I've wondered if this area keeps away witchcraft and expels evil spirits due to the earth smoke amounts that is found here." Before continuing. " Some of the raiders use it in teas and tinctures - I think. It's a good detoxifier though. To rid your body of poisons and unwanted things." She offered a smile as wandering over towards the newcomer. "Who are you? I'm Sagittarius Fallen." She stated excitedly. Her tail wagging around behind her. "Talking."

Kaira let out a shocked yelp as suddenly a stranger zoomed up to her, she let out a dramatic huff. Everyone was always finding ways to sneak up on her! Her ears pinned against her head for a second as she glanced over the stranger, she was new to her, but she could tell she was another raider so she didn't feel threatened. Her ears slowly came forward, and then the girl was speaking to her. Kaira tilted her head curiously as she talked about witchcraft and evil spirits, narrowing her eyes slightly. "Well, I'm glad it doesn't expel ALL spirits at least, wouldn't be able to talk to my momma otherwise." she said rather straight to the point, although Kaira wasn't sure if she believed the strange girl in front of her either. She thought fumitory was just used to treat like stomach issues or something. She turned away from the girl as she started to nose around again, she still needed to explore this area and learn more about it. She wouldn't mind company though, even if what she said confused her. "Talk"

Sagittarius was always in a mood that could switch like a light switch if you really thought about it. After all look whom her parents were. But she always was finding ways of training herself even if she was alone. And reading about different herbs always caught her attention. 'Tarius felt like maybe she said a bit too much - but honestly she stated what she felt she needed to. Giving a wave of her tail constantly. "I'm sorry, I'm Sagittarius. And who might you be?" She wondered who the other was, not seeing her before brough curiousity to her own mind. Lowering her own head to the flowers and grasses. Hoping that she didn't upset the stranger. "I'm sorry if I talk to much, I'm just I don't know.." She stated rather quickly with a dip of her skull. Wondering what the girl liked doing when she had free time or anything really. "Talking."

She flicked her ear as the girl before her apologized tilting her slightly, she wasn't quite sure why she apologized but she wasn't going to push the subject either. "My name is Kaira Imperialis-Klein, but you can call me Kai for short." She offered back, turning to face Sagittarius. Shifting to sit back on her haunches as she looked her over again. Her eyes widened as she realized that she may have perhaps made the other pup feel bad about talking, which had her shooting up from her spot and bumping her side into the girl playful. "I don't mind truly! All my family tends to talk quite a bit, except maybe my mama, she listens to me more than anything," she added the last part rather quickly, in a rush to get everything out as fast as she could she felt rather out of breath. And how did she fix that? She took in a ridiculously dramatic inhale like any pup would. She walked a few feet away from Sagittarius, then turned her head back to face her. "If you want you can come to explore with me more! I wanna learn everything!!" She would say with an all too excited voice as she raced forward with her head lowered to sniff all the plants and things around her. "Talk"

Lyra hadn't been far; in fact, she was always quite close. The girl preferred to keep an eye on those she loved, those she cherished, stalking, herding, following, and protecting. It was a habit she had yet to outgrow. But there was a deep call in her bones: the need to keep order, to keep everything in the tight circle she created.

To stay watchful and vigilant.

To remain orderly.

Was it always this hard or was she just surrounded by unruly Raiders?

It felt as if she hadn't seen Sagittarius in ages, but she was happy to see she was doing well. She feared she would disappear, as her mother, Jael, seemingly had. Such a thing had exacerbated her need to keep a watchful eye on everyone.

Lyra would say nothing, it seemed she was just in the mood to watch. However she did make her presence known with a soft woof. There wasn't much else to do; she was aware there were more pups. More people to watch. More responsibilities for her.

Sagittarius Fallen

The obsidian and scarlet girl listened to the one she'd come to know as Kaira speak out. Offering her name to Sagittarius. A smile crossing the less than a yearling's maw. A wave of her tail was given. "Kai is easy to remember." Excitement was there, anyone could see. That's when the scent of another sibling caught the girls attention, giving a flick of a ear - not in annoyance but happiness that Lyra was close by.

"It's always good to have someone to always listen, no matter what." Sagittarius listened to Kai speak out. Advising that Kai didn't mind at all if Sagittarius joined her in exploring the lands around them both. Her heart began to race as Kaira bolted off, lowering to sniff at the plants and everything around her.

'Tarius smiled, another wave of her tail trying to expell some of the excitement, nothing seemed to work though. Eyes spotted that of her earth toned sister Lyra. The watchful guardian that Lyra seemed to be. As Lyra offered the softness of a woof forth. Sagittarius bounded into the direction. "Kai, come meet Lyra." Sagittarius spoke out with excitedness.
